Arms As Strong As An Ox

Up until yesterday by baby bassets could not really understand why their father and I would buy 1970 Bronco that was loud, uncomfortable to ride in, and just plain OLD! That is until the sun came out and we took the top off. After two minutes of riding around town, the car went from yucky to super awesome. It was no longer loud, but instead powerful sounding. With the wind in their faces and the sun shining bright, the rough ride no longer bothered them. The multiple thumbs up we got from other drivers didn’t hurt either. The bright orange color certainly give it a “Look at Me” vibe, and the boys loved all the attention. I didn’t notice too much, since I had to concentrate on driving. Without power steering its a bit of work. Thankfully we are getting a steering kit in the mail on Wednesday. Until then, I consider it a full workout just to drive it down the street.

On February 17, 1909, in the dark heart of winter, the great Apache leader, Geronimo, dies of pneumonia after 23 years as a prisoner of war of the United States. Days later, a young, highly decorated Marine corporal named Frank Kidd learns of Geronimo’s death. Kidd’s real name is Chaco, and he is Geronimo’s nephew. Orphaned at birth, Chaco was toughened by the cruelties of the white man’s Indian school, battle-hardened by guerrilla warfare, and severely wounded in the 1906 Cuban Pacification Campaign.

Chaco returns to Fort Sill’s Apache POW camp to find his adoptive mother dying and his sister trapped in a brothel. Long-held secrets are soon revealed: Chaco is the old warrior’s last son, and his father’s final wish was to be buried “in the country that knows my name.” To honor that request, Chaco must rescue his sister and liberate Geronimo’s bones from the Apache Cemetery.

During the escape, two white men end up dead. Once an honored hero, now a hunted outlaw, Chaco races west with his sister in a stolen motorcar. As the last Apache warrior, he must pay the price with blood in one of the largest manhunts of the 20th century.

Dani Hedley is back in Innocence, California and happily reconnecting with the family & friends she’s missed for so long. But there’s one person she could do without…

Her father has a new tenant and he simply rubs Dani the wrong way. As a theatrical actor, it’s not surprising that he is a bit overdramatic and brash. But there seems to be something else about him that doesn’t sit well with Dani.

So, when the actor is found dead in the middle of a play, Dani immediately begins to wonder who else may have had issues with him. And, as she investigates, digging into the private lives of those around her, she realizes that narrowing the list down to just one culprit may be more difficult than she’d anticipated. That is, until she finds a roll of film in the victim’s apartment and discovers that the killer’s motive may be right in front of her… in the Exposed Negatives!

He got way more than he bid for…
Ladies’ man and mid-tier model, Crawford Andrews has a hunkalicous reputation to uphold. That means working out and making out but making no commitments.

Philanthropic (and very chaste) heiress Maris Conway would rather be passing out warm rolls and words of encouragement than working in her father’s swanky real estate development company, but it’s hard to be generous without a lot of money and connections.

When Crawford and Maris meet during a publicity photo shoot, they decide to attend a charity auction together. Crawford bids on a romantic getaway using both of their names, hoping to score points with Maris for helping to drive up the auction prices for her pet fundraiser. When they accidentally win, he gets much more than he ever imagined.

Self-absorbed meets selfless sweetness, and both find room to grow in this romantic comedy set in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
